Need help with building gaming pc!

First off, i want to tell you guys that this pc is overkill. I am willing to put this much money into it, because i am going away into the navy for nuclear engineering and have a cool $20,000 sign on bonus to attend to. I want to put as much insane stuff into it so that it will take a year or 2 to become outdated lol and so......

I have a build-your-own pc created on the falcon web site that i really want to build myself instead of paying $6,898.17 for *duh*. The things i want to know are, 1. What web site do you think will have most all the parts for the cheapest price. 2. About how much do you think it would cost me to buy all the parts. And 3. Need a web site to buy a nice case from. Specs on the monster are below:

ICON Exotix - Rain
ICON Window and Case Lighting - Red
Silverstone 1200Watt Strider - Modular
EVGA 790i Ultra SLI
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz
ICON Watercooling Kit
8GB (4X2GB) 1066MHZ DDR3
3x nVidia 280GTX 1GB DDR3
Integrated On-Board Audio
DWA-552 Xtreme N Wireless PCI Adapter
WD 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache
LG BlueRay/HD Reader and DVD/RW
No Floppy Drive
Windows Vista Home Premium - 64 Bit
Falcon Northwest T-Shirt (M)

Known issues with this configuration: None

System Price: $ 6,898.17

Price with UPS Ground $ 7,029.37
Price with UPS 2-Day $ 7,170.97
Price with UPS Overnight $ 7,320.57
Price with USPS Service to Military $ 7,298.17




ANY help is appreciated. contact me here, or on aim - insanemembrain13

so far, with everything listed there on newegg.com, minus the monitor, keyboard, mouse and case, comes to a lil over $3,000 with shipping. Pretty insane how much of a diff that is. lol

Just my personal opinion - Nvidia's motherboards are too prone to problems and instability.And the new ATI HD 4870x2 outdoes even the GTX280.Three of those in a CrossfireX setup on a good Intel X48 board would be incredible.
